Trump spoke about the chaos at the protests in France: "The country is burning, close the borders before it's too late." As before, Trump spoke on social media Truth Social. "France is burning! The immigration of people from a completely different world, people with hatred in their hearts, has destroyed this once great country. Close the borders and take control before it's too late!" Trump wrote on Sunday on his Truth Social platform. Protests over the cost of living and school conditions Trump did not substantiate his claim with evidence, and the reason for the protests was not immigration. Demonstrators took to the streets due to the high cost of living and the state of schools, demanding lower prices, especially for fuel, higher wages and pensions, and better-funded public services. Unrest began last month in middle schools in working-class suburbs to the north of Paris, where students demanded more teachers and better conditions for learning. The movement gradually evolved into broader dissatisfaction with inequality and the decline in living standards, and on Saturday, unions, students, pensioners, farmers, and former members of the "Yellow Vests" movement joined them. Minister of the Interior Laurent Nunez announced that around 550,000 people participated in 110 protests across the country on Saturday, of which about 110,000 were in Paris, while the CGT union claims there were 800,000. 1,800 arrested Nunez confirmed on Sunday that 1,800 people were arrested, and more than 500 police officers, gendarmes, and firefighters were injured. He attributed the violence to the far-left and those who joined the robberies, but did not mention immigration. Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu had previously attributed the violence to the far-left and criminals, calling on the party Unbowed France to choose a side. The leader of that party, Jean-Luc Melenchon, responded that his views had nothing to do with the robbery. Limoges was the hardest hit, where masked people burned the city council building from 1883. Demonstrators also entered councils in Marseille and Lille, and in Paris, demonstrations were broken up and numerous shops were robbed. In Saint-Etienne, a 17-year-old boy was left without an arm, and the incident, according to Minister Nunez, could have caused a gendarmerie grenade. JD Vance: "The Third World" has been imported Trump is not the first official of the American administration to give such a interpretation of the protests in France. The Vice President of the United States, JD Vance, previously wrote on X that the Western progressives have "imported the Third World into France" in the name of diversity and neglected assimilation issues, expressing hope that France will "end this madness before more monuments burn." President Emmanuel Macron announced that those who broke up, attacked prefectures and shops, and robbed councils would be hunted and punished. French presidential elections are held in six months.
